Overview

Overview
The left side of the mix manifold is intended for the major
volume material, or the higher viscosity material if using
a 1:1 volume mix. This side is referred to throughout the
manual as the resin side or “A” side. The right side is
referred to as the hardener side or “B” side.

Follow these recommendations for setup (see FIG. 1 on
page 6):
•
•

See FIG. 2 to view flow of A and B material inside the
XM PFP Mix Manifold.
The resin and hardener enter the manifold through the
manifold inlet ports. The A material flows through the
manifold to the material outlet port. The injector tube
creates a hollow stream of A material for the B material
to combine with once the hardener exits the injector (P).
The resin and hardener materials enter the mix manifold
outlet (R) before the materials enter the first length of
integrator fluid hose (L). The materials then pass
through the mixer assembly (S) where they are thoroughly mixed. Then they pass through a length of mix
hose (T1) where the continue to be lightly mixed before
entering the fluid whip hose (T2) then the gun (U).

•

Use at least a 1/2 in. (12 mm) x 2 ft (0.6 m) integrator hose (L) connected to the mix manifold outlet
Use at least 12 elements in the static mixer after the
integration hose and before the mix hose (T1).
Use at least a 1/2 in. (12 mm) x 10 ft (3.0 m) mix
hose (T1) after the static mixer and before the spray
gun.

Installation

Installation
Mounting
The mix manifold is designed for use on proportioning
pumps with independent drive motors. Do not use this
manifold on a mechanically linked sprayer without
using mechanically linked on/off A and B valves as
this will result in fluid pressures that can rupture equipment and cause skin injection.

To mount the bare manifold, drill four holes in the mounting surface, and secure with four 5/16-18 x 1/2 in.
(50 mm long) screws. Use the manifold as a template
when drilling the holes.

For assistance in setting up a plural component sprayer,
contact your Graco distributor, to ensure that you select
the proper type and size equipment for your system.

Fluid Inlets
See FIG. 1 on page 6. The A and B fluid inlets are
equipped with 3/4 in. check valves, ball valves, and
3/4 in. x 3/4 in. npt fittings and 3/4 in. x 1/2 in. fitting.
Connect 3/4 in. and 1/2 in. npsm(f) fluid hoses using the
two adapter nipples.

Solvent Inlet
See FIG. 1 on page 6. Connect the solvent supply line
from the solvent pump to the 1/4 npt(m) solvent inlet
valve (H). Use a grounded, Graco-approved hose rated
to withstand the maximum fluid working pressure of the
solvent pump. The solvent chosen must be chemically
compatible with the hose core material.

Fluid Outlet
See FIG. 1 on page 6. Connect the 1/2 in. ID x 2 ft. (minimum) integrator hose (L) to the mix manifold fluid outlet
(R). Then connect the static mixer (S) and mix hose (T1)
to the 1/2 npt(f) integrator hose (L). Then connect the
fluid whip hose (T2) to the mix hose and the gun to the
whip hose.

Heated Manifold
See FIG. 1 on page 6. The XM PFP manifold has a 1 in.
thick aluminum plate with brass compression fittings for
1/2 in. OD x 3/8 in. ID nylon hose used to circulate
heated water/glycol and heat the mix manifold.

3A2988B

Grounding

Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
•

Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as instructed
in your XM PFP sprayer operation manual.

•

Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace
hose immediately.

•

Mix manifold and solvent flush system: use only
a Graco approved grounded solvent hose. Not all
heated hoses are grounded, and the mix manifold
primary ground is through the solvent hose. Ensure
that the solvent pump is properly grounded, as
instructed in your solvent pump manual. Ensure
there is electrical continuity from the spray tip to the
grounded solvent hose.

•

Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

•

Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

•

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

•

Object being sprayed: follow local code.

•

Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a
grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard,
which interrupts grounding continuity.

•

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing
or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the gun.

3A2988B

Flush Before Using
Equipment

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
Flush, page 11.

ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
If your system uses heaters, shut off the main power
to the heaters and heated hose control and allow to
cool before flushing.
ti20129a

NOTICE
To prevent fluid from curing in the equipment, flush
the system frequently. Be sure there is an adequate
supply of flushing fluid before spraying.

4. Open solvent inlet valves.

NOTE:
• Ensure the chosen flushing fluid is compatible with
dispense fluid and the equipment wetted parts.
•

•

Solvent may channel through viscous fluids and
leave a coating of mixed fluid on the inner tube of
your hose. Be sure all fluid is thoroughly flushed from
the hose after each use.
Remove spray tip for more thorough cleaning of the
whip hose and static mixers.

•

Use heated water or choose a solvent that dissolves
the material you are mixing.

•

Always leave equipment filled with fluid to avoid drying and scaling.

Operation

Volume Balancing the Mix
Manifold
Ratio errors can occur between the sprayer and the mix
manifold even when the sprayer output ratio is accurate.
The following can occur when the hoses are not volume
balanced to the mix ratio:
•
•
•

Hoses fill to high pressure while metering on-ratio.
Only the A material hose rises to spray pressure.
Off-ratio at the mix point until hose pressures equalize.

Hose Selection
Hoses should be sized to match the hose volume ratio
to the mix ratio. The hose size should also allow for minimum pressure drop on the major volume side to meet
your flow requirements.
Use Table 1 to match mix ratio, hose selection, and volume ratio. Use Table 2 on page 14 to reference amount
of pressure drop for 50 ft lengths of different hose sizes.
Size hoses to:
•

Minimize pressure drop on the high volume and
often higher viscosity resin side to achieve higher
flow and pressure at the gun while spraying.

•

Allow both A and B material hoses to come up to
spray pressure together when A and B fluids are
metered into the hoses on ratio.

•

Balance the inherent stall pressure between the
resin A and hardener B sides when the gun closes
and also when triggered. This reduces the lead/lag
error at the mix point when the spray gun is triggered.

Lead/Lag Imbalance
When resin and hardener volume requirements (ratio)
and/or viscosities are different an imbalance can occur
each time the gun is triggered. This occurs because the
fluids can rush out of the manifold near a 1:1 ratio before
the sprayer starts.
To avoid this imbalance:
•

Pressurize hoses to spray pressure before starting
spray mode.

•

Size the fluid delivery hose volume to nearly match
the mix ratio. See Table 1.

This is a lot of pressure loss before reaching the spray
gun. Continue to Example #2 which examines the same
situation but with a 1/2 in. ID hose.
